Winger sets his own goals

Winger Michael West is keen to finally get off the mark for Crewe Alexandra.

"I'm still getting the sharpness back after spending nine weeks on the sidelines" - Michael West

The 21-year-old has suffered injury problems since arriving from Conference outfit Ebbsfleet United in the summer. West was always a regular scorer in non-league and has so far managed two assists for his new club in his five appearances.

His debut for the Alex was initially delayed by a couple of niggling knocks until finally taking his bow late last month. However, a calf strain then ruled him out of the weekend victory against Colchester United.

"I've set-up a couple of goals and should have found the net myself a couple of times too - but it's going all right," West told the Crewe Chronicle. "I love getting among the goals, but I'm still getting the sharpness back after spending nine weeks on the sidelines."
